Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

I'll take that as a no.



No, because Christianity has for the most part put on its big boy pants and joined the modern world; something Islam is yet to do.



I'm at the very least asking which one you consider to be more important than literally billions of people believing in stupid bullshit about the nature of reality and expecting those beliefs to be relevant to public policy, yes.

You seem to want nice simple answers to complex questions. We all want that but there are none. This is my last post on this just to address you final queries.
More relevant to the current situation than belief systems that have been around quite literally since the dawn of man? Christianity has grown up, better tell the Irish. Joined the modern world? Better tell the Southern Pentecostals or the Westboro lot, how about the gays? Or when it comes to Christianity are we allowed to see them as a lunatic fringe but Islam are all nutters?

1. Control of resources (obviously) look at what manipulation of prices has done to Russia, something no war could have managed so effectively. Unfortunately our tactic depends on the impoverishments of large numbers of people. Something that worked fine before the Information Age as they didn't know any better

2.Israeli land - Israel is both of religious and tactical significance to the West.

3. Planning ahead - the Middle East will be the centre of the world for a long time yet (it always has been) exerting control there gives the west access to the orient.

Whether you like it or not, the terrorism these needs engenders is seen as a small enough price to pay for the benefits we in the West enjoy. The countries creating the oil wealth for us are ridiculously poor (the citizens are) and are therefore desperate and angry that they subsidise our lifestyle, whilst at the same time we bomb, maim and kill their children. The turmoil suits our agenda down to the ground.

Islamism merely serves as a point of difference in much the same way as communism and republicanism has in the past two hundred years. Where each are just a hope for control or a system of necessity.

Haha there is a shire in WA called Donnybrook-Balingup.

 

[MotlopRules]

As a woman few things make me angrier than hearing leftwing men defending the spread and influence of Islam in Western countries.

Geez Oz is experiencing typical Dorothea Mackellar weather this week.

You think that's bad, I'm drinking stout.

The good thing about cold weather is that it's sex weather.

It's always more romantic and they always get more frisky in an artificially heated room with rain drops outside in the background.

If you are cooking blueys make sure you don't over cook them and for the love of deities make sure you cool them immediately otherwise the warm shell continues to cook the meat and turns it to mush. I cook them in boiling sea water for about 3 minutes (I judge by the colour).

Yorkes native with grandparents from Port Broughton speaking here.

My mum used to wrap them in newspaper and straight in the fridge after they were cooked...now I know why...never thought about the reason. When we went raking up Parham we cooked them in a big pot in sea water over the fire

Hmmm ... I do recall a pleasant january one year in Adelaide when a 'friend' visited from Qld and temps stayed under 25deg for a week

Last night I watched my best mate who was high as anything eat a pack of 4 muffins paper holder and all. I think Muffins Colquhoun has some competition.

I once saw a guy who was high eat a piece of dog shit between two slices of white bread. True story.

Ha, that's just like eating the proverbial shit sandwich.

Wait.

Big flow in the Todd last night.One 24 year old riding on a tyre tube went missing.Found his body Today.

I lived in Bradshaw Drive in Alice Springs in the early 80s. When the Todd flowed (once during my year or so there) there was so much water in this long flat street I floated along it on an air mattress. But the culvert behind the fence on the right - which leads towards the Todd - was flowing too fast even for us young guys in the flats there.

Maybe his dog ate his stash

I very much doubt that's genuine. Marco Polo was a Croatian who supposedly made his way east from Venice to China and back etc, etc. No connection to Islam I'm aware of. Without researching the dates I think some of the cultures he passed through on the Silk Road were Islamic by then but I read a book on him years ago and I can't remember that even being a factor. Just hate propaganda.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Old school Tamiya RC Cars were the best... Grasshopper, Frog, Boomerang, Hornet etc.

I still remember agonising over the construction of the Hornet. Painted mine a garish electric blue and orange.

What the **** is this shit? It's mid January and I'm driving around with the heater on.

Short memory. Last February 11th and 12th it was 42 and 44 degrees respectively - I did the Springsteen roll and line up for the Pit area. Then the 14th Adelaide had its wetest day since January or February 1969. Not sure about a heater in the car but had to put on a jumper.

climate change means extremes at all ends of the weather. Huge chunks of North America including the south is absolutely ****ing freezing at the moment.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I had a Frog and Boomerang..... Frog was green (lame) and Boomerang White...

Edit - Reason for the nostalgia is I found both in working order at the shack over New Years... THe old man had kept them.
